4. 02 -Benefits
Improved student engagement with material
Typical lecturing styles are a one-way conversation –leads to boredom
Teachers who create interactive classes, facilitate open discussions, and offer real-time feedback
are more likely to interest students in the material.
when students see that you’re trying to cultivate a positive relationship with them and between
them, they’re more likely to respond.
So, to make the classroom more dynamic, encourage more active communication methods like
collaborative discussions or hands-on projects.

measures
6. Talk Less and make your students talk more. How….
Give children a moment to think after you’ve posed a question
Don’t just repeat and correct something a child says if it’s wrong –allow them to
reflect on and improve what they’ve said
Use think, pair, share –ask a question and then let children discuss answers or
ideas with their talk partners before sharing with the class
Promote genuine class discussions –encourage pupils to challenge or build on
what children have said
7. Promote Collaboration
